What is your name?

Did you choose the hammock life? Or did the hammock life choose you? When and how did your start hammocking?!

Truthfully, I had always been a skeptic of the hammock life. Being on a college campus, it was impossible to not see someone hoisted between two trees. I kind of thought it was a waste of time, or maybe I was secretly jealous deep down.

Fast forward a few years and I started dating this girl who loves her some hammocks. It only took one hammock cuddle-sesh to convince me that the hammock life was for me. No regrets.

Beds are overrated. So overrated, in fact, that this particular Reddit user decided to forego the whole bed thing and instead sleep in a hammock night after night. Is he/she a genius? Why yes, yes he/she is.

As he/she explains, sleeping in a hammock is, and I quote, “glorious.” For those skeptical about the benefits of sleeping in a hammock, let me break it down for you.

We all love being outdoors, but throw in a little spook into the equation and we all have a perfect recipe for adventure. There are many places in United States that are known for being haunted or too scary to even visit. But some daredevils like to take it up a notch!

Here are some of the most haunted trails where spending a night and making out of it alive will be an adventure of a lifetime. All you need is bravado, a camp and a hammock to set your very own “Blair Witch Project” in motion.

You’ve got your hammock. Now all you need to do is learn how to hang it!

If you’re a seasoned hammock hanger, you might think that this is a silly post. But remember that you, too, were once a hammock newbie. And we want to welcome as many hammock enthusiasts as possible into our tribe, so this post is for those who are curious how to properly hang their hammocks. Especially since there are plenty of places to hang a hammock (in your bedroom, on a balcony, between two trees…), we’d hate for you to have a mishap when all you’re tryin’ to do is hang out.

In 2006 Richard hit headlines completing his first life-size oil painting of an African bull elephant named “Tembo”. Richard’s painting sold for a staggering $100,000.00 to a private collector with a large donation from the sale going directly to The Born Free Foundation.
